PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) Board decisions

The Board has granted the veteran's claim for service connection for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) based on direct evidence of a service-connected condition.

The Board denied service connection for PTSD in May 2001, citing lack of corroboration of the alleged non-combat stressor. The veteran's motion to revise this decision on grounds of clear and unmistakable error (CUE) is denied.

The Board has remanded the case for a new VA psychiatric examination and to obtain additional medical records, including from Dr. Braack.

The Board has determined that the veteran's PTSD is related to his service and granted service connection for this condition.

The veteran's appeal has been dismissed due to his death during the pendency of the appeal.

The veteran's residuals of a thoracic spine fracture are rated at 60 percent, effective from the date of the June 1998 VA examination. The issue of service connection for PTSD and multiple disorders is referred back to the RO.

The Board has granted service connection for traumatic arthritis of the fingers. The remaining issues on appeal are REMANDED to the RO.

The veteran's request for service connection for PTSD is being remanded due to his desire for a hearing before a Veterans Law Judge.

The Board has granted a higher disability rating for the veteran's PTSD to seventy percent, effective April 1998. The TDIU claim is also granted as the veteran's service-connected disabilities prevent him from securing and maintaining substantially gainful employment.

The Board has granted a 100 percent disability rating for the veteran's service-connected post traumatic stress disorder, finding that his symptoms render him unemployable and severely impair his social functioning.

The Board is remanding the case to review the issue of service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, including PTSD, due to additional evidence and further development.

The Board has remanded the case due to incomplete evidence and need for further verification of stressors, as well as additional medical records.

The Board has found that new and material evidence has been received to reopen the claim of service connection for PTSD. The veteran's original claim was denied in July 1998, but with the submission of additional evidence showing potential PTSD related to his military service, the claim is now reopened.

The Board found no current diagnosis of PTSD and thus denied the veteran's claim for service connection.

The Board found that the veteran's schizoaffective disorder and PTSD were not incurred or aggravated by service, as there was no clear evidence of aggravation during his brief period of active duty. The pre-existing psychiatric condition was determined to have existed prior to service.

The appeal is remanded to the RO for further development and readjudication. The appellant's claims include service connection for the cause of death, eligibility for dependents' educational assistance, and accrued benefits based on disability ratings.

The Board has dismissed the appeal due to the appellant's withdrawal of the appeal prior to a decision being made.

The Board found that the veteran does not have a diagnosed PTSD and that his symptoms are related to hypoglycemic episodes, thus denying service connection for PTSD.

The Board has granted a 100 percent evaluation for the veteran's PTSD, effective from the date of claim.

The Board found that the evidence submitted since the September 1991 rating decision was not new and material, thus denying the reopening of the service connection claim for PTSD.
